The company traced the problem to a design flaw in one of the helium canisters inside the rocket's second-stage liquid-oxygen tank.... Helium? Really? Explosive Helium
That must be some new kind of helium....

The explosion occurred during a "qualification test" of a Merlin engine... I guess it failed the test..................

I still like Musk. He wants to be on Mars during my lifetime. He isn’t content to schedule a landing for 40 years from now, like NASA.

Wow, a Merlin engine, not what I was expecting to read. A helium problem arose before, and is one of the motivations to move on into the Raptor engine design, which burns subcooled methane. Thanks BenLurkin.
